Qianlong's love for Concubine Ling's extraordinary specifications must have become a household name among the people. It is said that the reason why Qianlong chose Yongyan, who had mediocre qualifications, as the heir and Ling Concubine's favor, had a certain relationship, but according to Qianlong's performance towards The other children of Concubine Ling, this statement did not seem to be reliable.
Concubine Ling had a daughter, namely the Ninth Daughter of the Emperor and Princess Heshuo and Princess Ke, although she and Yongyan were siblings, but they were not loved by Qianlong, and she also had an eldest sister, the Seventh Daughter of the Emperor and Princess Jing, who was also born of Concubine Ling, and this daughter was quite pleasing to Qianlong, where can we see qianlong's differential treatment of these sisters? Today we will talk about the story of the seventh daughter of the Qianlong Emperor and Princess Jing and the ninth daughter of the Emperor and Princess Ke: they are both the biological daughters of Concubine Ling, but Qianlong treats them differently, the sister is happy for a lifetime, and the younger sister is lonely and bitter.
The first is their marriage. Princess Hejing's eunuch Borjigit was the grandson of Prince Celing of Chaoyong, and his status was prominent, and he was crowned as a son of the world in the twenty-ninth year of Qianlong, and his status after inheriting the title was even more precious. Moreover, this marriage was decided when Princess Hejing was only three months old, which shows how far-sighted Qianlong was and cared about the future of this daughter.
Princess Heke's side was a little depressed, although her forehead also had a knighthood, but the rank was too low compared to her brother-in-law, and the princess's marriage seemed to be somewhat sloppy, and it was set at the funeral of the princess's father-in-law, who died before the princess passed the door, and the first class Wu Yi mou yong gong Zhaohui.
The second is their title. Since the Qing Dynasty began to follow the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial family made a clear distinction between the concubines born in the Middle Palace and the concubines born to the concubines, and only the concubines could enjoy the title of Princess Gulun. "Gulun" has the meaning of honor and the world, and the lady can only get a "Heshuo" title, which means one side.
Different titles, the treatment will be very different, it is reasonable to say that Princess Hejing and Princess Heke are sisters of the same mother, the title should be Heshuo, but Qianlong alone will be Princess Hejing as Princess Gulun, Princess Heke as Princess Heshuo, the meaning of eccentricity is also very obvious.
Poor Princess Heke was originally unfavored, and married a husband who did nothing in the political arena, and was stamped with an ordinary seal for the rest of her life. So in the forty-fifth year of Qianlong, Princess Heke was only 23 years old and died of incense, which shows that this marriage and Princess Ke were not happy, and even lonely.
The daughter of Princess Heke was not able to escape this fate, and she and the daughter of Ezhu Zalantai entered the palace in the forty-sixth year of Qianlong and were left in the inner court to raise, and as a result, they were promised to be the son of the first prince of Horqin in Mongolia the following year.
This daughter is Qianlong's granddaughter, as the saying goes, "the next generation hurts", it is reasonable to say that Qianlong, as a grandfather, should love his granddaughter, but Qianlong let this precious granddaughter and relatives, if Qianlong likes her, he will not be willing to marry her to Mongolia, so this union is just another political marriage.
Everyone is a princess, the sister wants what she wants, and the sister is ignored and degraded again and again, and Princess Heshuo and Ke must be very bitter in their hearts, right?
